Well, we found out today! Owen went to run and slide on our new slip 'n slide and fell forward onto his hand, pulling the bones away from each other in 3 different fingers causing multiple fractures. I knew immediately that he was hurt, but had no idea how badly. It only took me about 5 mintues to decide to take him to urgent care. He was sitting on my lap in the kitchen, wet from the water, concerned that he was getting my shorts wet...sweet baby boy! I told him 'if hugs make you feel better...I don't care about my clothes!' The dr. thought it was maybe bruised or sprained and she said it might take an hour to get the x-ray results back, so she sent us home with his hand/arm in a splint. An hour later she called and said, "it's worse than you think!" I thought she was joking, but come to find out he broke 3 fingers (pointer, middle and ring) where the fingers and knuckles meet. He has at least those 3 fractures. We have an appointment with the orthopedic surgeon tomorrow. Hopefully he won't need anything more than a permanent cast. Precious boy of mine! Such a hard day for you...and me! I love you!
He was so exhausted from the trauma today that he fell asleep in the van while waiting for Landon's game to start. It was 89 degree's today!
Once he woke up, I gave him some more motrin and he was ready to play with his best buddy, Logan.
